GRAND BAY - WESTFIELD — According to a study published this week by the PGA of Atlantic Canada, the average person’s plan to improve their golf game is only capable of withstanding 25 seconds of honest, direct questioning before falling apart. “While most individuals’ plans hold together for the first few moments of explanation, we found that by the 20- or 30-second mark, people typically begin trailing off into ambiguity, equivocation, or flat-out silence,” said the study’s lead author, Steve Leblanc of WEstfield Golf & CC, adding that most students hit an impassable roadblock after being asked “how are you going to pay for that?” “In about 38 percent of cases, it appeared students’ aspirations had been subject to so little critical inquiry that the simple exercise of explaining the first step of their plan aloud — be it to cure a slice, hit it farther, or simply to learn some golf etiquette — caused the entire thing to unravel right before their eyes in a period of no more than six or eight seconds.” Leblanc noted that even after talking themselves into a corner and finding themselves wholly unable to explain how they would achieve their plans, nearly 100 percent of the subjects still expressed confidence they would succeed.

With only 2 weeks of regular season, Team Hubbard has a commandinglead, with only Team Roberts and Thompson able to catch him for first.
